The Southern – Bryant says she did not intend to say Satanists ‘are not welcome’ in the Capitol

The original document attributed this quote to Bryant: "... I am certainly within my rights as an American and as a state representative to say that Satan or his worshipers are not welcome in the Illinois Capitol."

Three and a half hours later, another email from Bryant's office indicated the first release had been sent in error. The second version of the news release did not contain the "not welcome" quote.
